Episode #1.7 - S1-E7
DI Richard Poole: Everyone had a motive.
Neville : Ahem, you missed someone.
DI Richard Poole: No.
Neville: Me!
DI Richard Poole: Well, you didn't do it...
Neville: Could have!
DI Richard Poole: Really? What was your motive?
Neville: He owed me money?
DI Richard Poole: Did he?
Neville: No.
[DI Richard Poole sighs, shakes his head and moves on]. (00:46:05)
Trivia: A bit of the episode has been cut for the streaming releases; at the end of the scene with Humphrey taking Martha's luggage, he would make a date with her for the next day, to cook dinner for her at 8. This has been eliminated probably because it created timing issues with 8 PM being too well lit (in contrast with the supposed timing of the murder) and the ending takes place at Catherine's for a cute drinking scene anyway. (00:22:50)
Question: Why did the cord on the wall phone in the police station change from straight in the early episodes to coiled later?
